Inventor Group is amazing! Worked with Manny and the team on the K Bar Pro for my fitness business, and they nailed it. From the idea to the final product, they were top-notch. They really understood what we wanted, turning it into a cool workout tool. Super detailed, kept me updated, and made everything simple. These guys are pros at turning ideas into products people want to buy. If you're thinking of improving your product, Inventor
Group is the way to go. They did a fantastic job for us.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Manny & his team at Inventor on a product (finishing it off from a failure with previous Engineer) for my business, and I couldn't be happier with the quality of their work. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and highly skilled in their craft.

They took the time to understand my needs and goals for the project, and then translated that into a beautifully designed product that exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail and creativity really shone through, and I appreciated the clear and timely communication throughout the process.

Overall, I highly recommend this industrial design company for anyone looking to elevate their product's design and functionality. Their expertise, professionalism, and creativity are unmatched, and I will definitely be working with them again in the future.

Thank you for a job well done! "

Here is another unhappy customer.
From my own experience I found Investor group to be amateurs and inexperienced.

My item was simple. A Velcro strip that stuck to the bathroom wall. It needed to be hot water resistant and hold under pressure. 18 month, $6600 in fees and $20k to purchase the products. I ordered a large batch to get them cheaper. The first batch arrived and I tested for around 10 days and they were fine. I asked for the second half to be shipped. Into the 3rd week of use the Velcro started pealing off. OMG

They blamed me for approval of the strips.
Obviously they never tested. So what did I pay them for. I could have purchased off Ali Baba and saved $6600.

To cut a very long terrible story short.
I was refunded half the total amount for the purchase of the strips. The $6600 fee was lost. Half cost of the strips $10k was lost.
Over 2 years of time lost. Lets not mention all costs for other items I sourced elsewhere. In total $40k down and shattered dreams.

Depression and anxiety set in and so on.

I have since picked myself up thanks to god and good family, hence why I found the courage to write this.

Do you’re reach before Committing!

Absolutely amazing work from the team at Inventor Group! We couldn't have launched our sustainability-focused business Refilled without them. Manny Sandler and his team helped us go from a concept to a working product, generating revenue in the market in less than 6 months. Their hustle, ingenuity and hands-on approach are what every hardware startup needs to get off the ground. My investors have said it's one of the best prototypes they've ever seen and we're only just getting started! Reach out to Inventor Group if you have an idea and need help making it a reality.

I engaged Inventor Group with my idea 19mths ago, I have a detailed and rather complex product idea hence why it's taking so long. Manny has been extremely professional and helpful with back and forth communications with various international suppliers and factories. Manny's expertise and knowledge is helping me bring my product to life. I highly recommend Manny and Inventor Group if you are looking for help with your idea.

Manny was lovely to deal with initially however it all went downhill after that.

I briefed Manny on what my idea was and he sent over a proposal in terms of timings and costing. We went back and fourth in terms of what was and wasn't possible. I essentially sent over all the idea/concepts from what I had seen in the market (as he said it wasn't possible initially).

I was told that in stage 1 that I would be provided an estimation of how much it will cost to produce my idea so that I was able to use that information to decide whether it was feasible and to continue ahead with my idea.

I'll tell you what $2,000 + gst got me - a poorly written report from Ana, which majority of the 'report' consisted of ideas/comments that I had provided to Manny/Ana over email. I essentially paid an exorbitant amount to have them put my suggestions/ideas onto 3 'pages'. There would be less than 500 words altogether, which was information that wasn't new to me.

They had the audacity to ask if I wanted to continue with the project and pay another $2,000-$3,000 + gst to 'research' it.

Honestly, I'm too embarrassed to even show the report to anyone and tell anyone how much I paid for this 'report'.

Reply to Manny: you’ve definitely work on my project however I don’t see any point in contacting you about it as I don’t want to read excuses or justifications for the shocking low quality provided by your company.

Consumer BEWARE. Consumer BEWARE.

They could not build a box with a sealing lid for $6700.00 and the time it took them to build whatever you call that thing I could have built a house.

They convinced me my original injection mould idea was floored and not worth building.
They said,
let our proffessionals build you a flat pac design, it is better than your original!

I was concerned the flat pac would not seal. They convinced me they could make it just as I wanted.

They discovered the flat pac design was a Complete failure.

They then went back to my original idea and said PAY MORE MONEY and we will build this and sent me a photo of an OLD esky with a drain hole as thier second prototype.

I paid over $6700.00 for a worthless piece of junk.

They said my prototype was tested and worked this is an impossibility please look at the photos. That lid is supposed to seal.

I asked for some money back and was refused outright.

I asked for certificates of employees they claim are engineers etc I was refused.

I asked for completed detailed work plans I was refused.

Currently taking legal action through small claims.

I personally do not recommend this service.
Do your own research.
Please feel free to contact me over my experience.

This business is not trustworthy /legitimate, do they have an office in Hong Kong currently? As well as a Sydney address.

They took our money (thousands) and we received nothing / no contact for nearly one year. When can we expect the money back promised by you?

Ana sent emails that were so long, unnecessary and very unhelpful, we were astonished at the lack of beneficial information and standard of graphic designs, very simplistic and child like.

Then a prototype that wasn't tested and ill fitting, no solutions or no offer to continue to fix the prototype after giving us a non-working one that included a lid that didn’t fit across the Box, it is too short, plus the edges were rounded to fit on a square surface, Go figure!

Now (as of last week June 2022) they are saying they do have a working prototype but claiming we said we ‘didn’t want it’ of course, you guys keep the working one, we’ll give you $6000 and we will keep the non-working piece of junk prototype! WOW it just gets better!

Why would we continue? So annoyed as that was our savings. $6000

They conned us big time! Regrettably I had to press one star to post this

I have no connection to G Elle who also reviewed your business and also unhappy with her outcome.

The team at Inventor have been invaluable to my product development process. The Bondi Bar would never have existed without their help, and I'm so glad that I was able to turn my idea into the product it is today.

Engaged the team at Inventor Group to assist in the re-design / prototyping of what is normally a commodity consumer electronics item and the results have been fantastic. So many intricate parts but we managed to get there. Give Manny and the team a go, they won't disappoint!

Inventor helped with sourcing the manufacturing of my product, and I'm so glad they did. Without their help, I would've been overwhelmed with all the intricacies of dealing with factories overseas, but they made it an easy process. Thanks to the whole team!

If you need a product developed, look no further. All we needed was the idea and some basic drawings and the team at Inventor turned that idea into a marketable product. I couldn't believe how easy they made the whole process; their expertise in creating a marketable product from scratch is invaluable.

If you got an idea and you wish to drive it forward to the next step, then this place is the right place to do so. Manny and his team will help you from A-Z.
Direction to reach the place and avoid the maze, go to level 4 and then search for the office number till you find it, when you go down, go to level 3 to exit.
